Green Tomato Chutney Tomatillo Dip Recipes

TOMATO TOMATILLO CHUTNEY - 'TOM TOM'

Steps:

• Place the green tomatoes, tomatillos, raisins, onion, brown sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice, chili powder, crystallized ginger, and brown mustard seed into a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat, and simmer the chutney until thickened, 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep chutney from burning on the bottom.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the chutney into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 to 20 minutes, or the time recommended by your county Extension office.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Any uncanned chutney can be refrigerated or frozen.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes (you can skin them if you want, but it's not necessary). Finely chop the onions. Layer both in a large bowl with the salt. Leave overnight.
• The next day, chop the sultanas using a large, sharp knife, then peel, core and chop the apples. Put the sugar and vinegar into a large pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sultanas and apples and simmer for 10 mins. Strain the tomatoes and onions in a colander (but don't rinse), then tip into the pan and return to the boil.
• Simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and pulpy. Transfer to warmed jars (see tips, below) and cover with lids.

BETTY'S GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, cauliflower, onion, sugar, and 3 cups of vinegar into a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until the sugar has dissolved, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir the flour, turmeric, mustard, curry, nutmeg, clove, and ginger together in a bowl. Stir in the remaining cup of vinegar to create a thin paste. Blend this mixture into the simmering tomatoes. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, then simmer an additional 10 minutes. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Set over high heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon sticks. At this point, chutney can be cooled and served, or canned: Ladle chutney into clean canning jars, and wipe excess from rims; screw on lids.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, pour in additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed; if it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
• Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Opened jars will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

PORK WITH GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme sprig, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; stir well to coat. Add 1 cup water, the vinegar and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing the tomatoes as they soften, until the mixture thickens but is still chunky, adding a splash of water toward the end if needed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the pork all over with salt, pepper and the chopped thyme. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until just cooked through but still a touch rosy in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes.
• Divide the rice among plates. Stir any accumulated juices from the pork into the tomato chutney along with the parsley. Divide the pork and chutney among the plates. Top with more parsley.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Pour boiling water (about 2 cups) over the tamarind and let stand until cool. Place a sieve over a bowl and work the tamarind in it with your fingers, pressing the pulp through the sieve and leaving the seeds in it. Add hot water as you work to facilitate the separation of seeds from pulp.
• Put the tamarind pulp and liquid into a deep, heavy pot, add all other ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, or until the mixture is reduced to a saucelike consistency.
• Put the mixture into sterilized jars, cover with canning lids and bands and process in a water-bath canning kettle for 30 minutes. Cool, tighten bands and store until needed.
